Yohji Yamamoto Y’s for Men Western Zip-Up Knit

(FOR SALE) A Vintage Yohji Yamamoto ‘Y’s For Men’ Western Zip-Up Knit Sweater

Yamamoto attended Keio University in 1966, not for fashion but instead to pursue a career in law. Shortly after his graduation, Yamamoto realized his heart was far more invested in fashion than pursuing a traditional career. Yohji Yamamoto asked to apprentice alongside his mother at the dressmaking shop, learning to sew from assistants and later joining Bunka Fashion College, one of the most esteemed programs for fashion in Japan. Maintaining relevancy and building his eponymous label for over fifty years, Yohji Yamamoto pioneered an avant-garde, noir style that has grown to be infamous.
